WOWZA! What a week!
It's Wendy from Craft Goodies.
I'm really excited to be sharing my projects with you--yes, {once again} I said projects, as in plural!
If I've learned anything from this group, it's that I'm a whole lot more indecisive that I ever realized I was.
So here you go, silhouettes done Wendy-style:
So, funny enough, this wasn't my original plan. I wanted to do classic silhouette cutouts of my girls on these curvy little frames but I ran into a few problems.
1-- I couldn't get them to sit still long enough to trace a descent image. 2-- once I got it small enough to fit inside the frame I was afraid I'd loose the detail of the image to the saw blade, and 3--I'd already cut the frame out so enlarging it wasn't an option.
So what to do...cut a carrot instead! But don't you just love it?
I cut the blue part of the frame from 3/4 inch MDF and the insert from bead board. I used the skill saw to cut both. And the carrot is 1/4 inch MDF.
{Completely off track but as I was finishing this piece it kind of reminded me of the very first project we ever did here on WYLTC? And then I realized that that was ONE YEAR ago!!! Holy cow--Happy Birthday WYLTC!!! We're officially one!}
My little carrot needed a buddy to fill up the shelf and what goes better with carrots than bunnies?
I was obsessed with the idea of a big, fluffy bunny tail. So the idea of a silhouette was perfect because what do you really see? That big, fluffy bunny's tail!
She too is cut from 3/4 inch MDF and then mounted onto a chunk of 2x4.
The tail is a tan tulle, scrapbook paper on the 2x4 and a sharpie to apply the lettering.
The whole thing makes me very "HOPPY".
Hooray for ideas that go astray!!!
